The 40 mm watches are powered by the Calibre 5 Automatic movement with 38 hours of power reserve. Both models come with crowns made of the same metal, matching the 12-sided, 60-minute, unidirectional bezel. 

These watches come with a closed caseback, with the Aquaracer logo engraving

The 30 mm watch comes in a stainless steel case with a yellow gold bezel (Ref. WBP2450.FT6215) or in a stainless steel case with a rose gold bezel (Resp.WBP2451.FT6200). The yellow gold model gets a blue fumé, mother-of-pearl dial while the rose gold model gets a black fumé, mother-of-pearl dial. The 30 mm model also gets 11 diamonds as hour markers and a date window at 6 o’clock. The hour, minute, second hands and the crown match the material of the bezel. Powering the watches is the Calibre 9 automatic movement with  40 hours of power reserve. 

Powering the variants is the Calibre TH31-00 Automatic COSC movement with an 80-hour power reserve

The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 collection also includes one-all rose gold (Ref. WBP5150.FT6199) and one-all yellow gold (WBP5152.FT6210) models. These models are aesthetically identical to the stainless steel 40 mm models. Powering the variants is the Calibre TH31-00 Automatic COSC movement with an 80-hour power reserve. Turning them over reveals the transparent casebacks with redesigned oscillating weights. 


TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph

TAG Heuer has announced a new batch of Carrera chronographs that are inspired by the original 1963 Heuer Carrera


TAG Heuer has unveiled two 42 mm stainless steel models for the chronograph. These models draw inspiration from the 1963 Heuer Carrera. Ref. CBN201C.FC6542 has a black dial while Ref.  CBN201D.FC6543 has a blue dial. Both models come with orange gradient tracks. There are three chronograph counters at 3 o’clock for the 30-minute counter; at 6 o’clock, you will find the seconds indicator with a date window below it; and 9 o’clock marks the 12-hour counter. The subdials are in the same colour as the dial.

Its punchy splashes of orange and red on the hour markers and across the dial are incorporated to mimic the sound of a race car building up speed

Both models come with orange-lacquered central chronograph hands and two stainless steel pushers at 2 o’clock and 4 o’clock to start and restart the function. The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph is equipped with the in-house automatic chronograph Calibre Heuer02 movement with 80 hours of power reserve. Turning the watches over showcases the steel screw-down sapphire casebacks with gold plating oscillating weights. 


TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph and TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon: ‘Glass Box’ Edition

It possesses a “glassbox effect” that counteracts the effects of gravity on the mechanical movement’s accuracy

TAG Heuer is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Carrera series, and the new ‘Glassbox’ edition is the perfect way to commemorate such a milestone. The two timepieces, (Ref. CBS2210.FC6534) and (Ref. CBS2212.FC6535), come in 39 mm stainless steel polished cases with black or blue circular brushed dials. There are also three chronograph counters at 3 o’clock for the 30-minute counter; 6 o’clock is reserved for the seconds indicator with a date window below it; and 9 o’clock marks the 12-hour counter. 

The watches feature a curved sapphire crystal and slightly curved flange and indexes on the dial

Powering the watches is the Calibre TH20-00 automatic movement with 8- hours of power reserve. Matching the dial colour, the straps are available in either black or blue leather.


Another highlight of TAG Heuer’s 2023 capsule is the new Carrera chronograph with a tourbillon visible through an aperture at six o’clock

TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon (Ref. CBS5010.FC6543) is part of the same collection. This model sits in a 42 mm stainless steel case. There are also two chronograph counters at 3 o’clock for the 30-minute counter and 9 o’clock marks the 12-hour counter. There’s a rhodium-plated tourbillon at 6 o’clock as well as an orange lacquered central hand. Powering the watch is the Calibre TH20-09 COSC automatic movement with  65 hours of power reserve. 


TAG Heuer Carrera Date

In celebration of its 60th anniversary, TAG Heuer has released a brand new Carrera Date

The collection has been launched in four colours — silver (Ref. WBN2310.BA0001), blue (Ref.WBN2311.BA0001), pastel green (Ref. WBN2312.BA0001), and pink (Ref. WBN2313.BA0001).

A cornerstone of the 2023 lineup is the TAG Heuer Carrera Plasma Diamant d’Avant-Garde

Limited-edition and sporting lab-grown bezel and bracelet, the new TAG Heuer Carrera Plasma watch marks the debut of the brand’s Diamant d’Avant-Garde technology. The 44 mm timepiece has a black aluminium case, set with 48 avant-garde diamonds and a polycrystalline diamond dial, composed of diamond indexes and three polycrystalline plates.

The disruptive piece is fueled by Calibre Heuer 02 Tourbillon Nanograph movement which is meant to supply anti-magnetism, shock resistance, and stability across temperature ranges

The crown is a single 2.5 ct lab-grown diamond while the two chronograph pushers at 2 o’clock and 6 o’clock are elevated with black DLC coating. The dial comprises 12 white gold hour markers, also set with lab-grown diamonds. The rhodium-plated hour and minute hands as well as the central hand are coated with matte black lacquer and white Super-LumiNova. 

The minutes and hours chronograph sub-counters lie at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock with a tourbillon at 6 o’clock. The TAG Heuer Carrera Plasma model comes equipped with the new Calibre Heuer 02 Tourbillon Nanograph with a COSC-certified chronograph movement, offering 65 hours of power reserve. This watch is finished on a black aluminium bracelet, set with 1.9 ct diamonds, and a steel double-folding clasp with safety push buttons.
